Blazely Cottage, a three-bedroom Georgian house, is now for sale

In the historic heart of Longford, Tasmania, at 24 Howick Street, the rush of modern life fades to a whisper.

The perfectly-preserved Georgian cottage was built in 1840, early in the town’s history.

Since then, Blazely Cottage has retained its period features, including original timber floorboards, open fireplaces, and stained-glass windows; however, a contemporary refresh to the bathroom and kitchen brings it into the modern era.

The three-bedroom home on a 901-square-metre block is surrounded by an established garden, full of intimate spaces made for sitting and watching the world go by.

Listing agent Richard Sims says the owner is an avid gardener: “She’s put a lot of time and effort into creating what you see.

“She’s also created a citrus area and established veggie patch,” says Sims of the home’s self-sufficient nature.

In the renovated country-style kitchen with a walk-in pantry, farm-to-table meals are possible, with homegrown produce just a step away.

From the large farmhouse sink to the quality appliances, this part of the home blends heritage beauty with functionality.

The connected kitchen and laundry open to an expansive timber deck overlooking the gardens

A large carport offers plenty of space, complemented by two separate sheds for extra storage or flexible use.

“The original lean-to timber sheds, they’re as old as the house … it’s this trip down memory lane,” Sims says.

Just a seven-minute walk to the Longford town centre and a 23-minute drive from Launceston, this cosy escape is secluded but not far from the action.

Sims is accepting offers over $595,000 for the historic home.
